How can I improve this map?

Hi, using less trees may help (make sure they dont overlap) but I'm afraid they may look like black dots. The problem imo is that the trees are just too black and look to much like 'real' trees compared to the mountains. I suggest you use a more 'iconic' tree symbol in stead of these realistic brush. When looking at the mountains, these brushes may fit well. cheers, DJ

Ah, that's a good idea! Thank you!
I can make simple tree brushes like that myself, just as I did with the mountains. It won't look as cool as the realistic brushes, but you are right, it would fit better with the mountains, and also with the simplicity of the map in general.
I'll try that tomorrow and will post an updated version when I'm done.
